Speaker A. I know that lots of student don’t like exams. They would prefer school without tests and exams at all, but I don’t it’s possible. Exams helps to major the progress we’ve made and helps us to understand what we have to improve. Students usually need some motivation to learn and exams are very effective way to make them study.

Speaker B. I have already taken 2 exams. I learn English as a foreign language. In the end of my course in the language school I had to take an exam. At first I was afraid of that, but then I managed to concentrate on the task. I made a few mistakes, but my grade was ok anyway. Later, when I had to take an exam in my art course I didn’t worry about it at all and everything went fine for that one too.

Speaker C. If you want to pass your exam successfully, you should remember a few points. The first one – revise all the material you’ve learned, but not on the night before the exam. That night you should have a good sleep to be able concentrate on your tasks. Second: have a walk before you go to your classroom, it will help you to feel more relaxed.

Speaker D. It was my first exam and I feel frightened and uneasy. I’m quite good at mathematics, but there in the exam room I couldn’t concentrate. The first task took me much more time than it was supposed to. And I simply didn’t managed to complete the test on time. My grade was very low, I didn’t get a pass and I have to take it again in a month.

Speaker E. It could sound absolutely crazy for most students, but I don’t mind exams at all. More than that: passing the exams makes me feel good. It’s like doing sports to me, I have to make some afford to receive the result. And if I manage (and in the most cases I do) I feel very proud of myself. High grades motivate me to learn further. Low grades, if they happen, make an area to improvement.
